To answer this, both fractions must share a common denominator
since 4/8 can be reduced, divide by two so both fractions have the same common denominator
4/8 now becomes 2/4. Do not reduce further because now you can solve....
2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4

let 1+2+4+8+...... =s s= 1+2(1+2+4+8+........) s=1+2s s=-1 but sum of infinite terms cannot be -1 so, what's the answer
7/8 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 = 4/8 + 2/8 + 1/8 = 7/8
32
1/4 + 3/8 = 2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8
1 and 7/8 + 2 and 3/8 = 4 and 1/4
